In a first response to the current draft of the speaker for a health care law (GVSG), Dr. criticizes Carola Reimann, CEO of the AOK federal association, lacks the lack of convincing solutions for improved outpatient health care. Instead, state tasks and financial responsibilities would increasingly be moved to those paying contributions. There is also a risk that the quality of general care is affected by a redesign of the remuneration and additional bonuses. This law should therefore optimize the income of the medical profession rather than the care of people. The financial burden limit of the contributors has already been reached. Find out more about the critical point of view of Dr. Carola Reimann for the GVSG speaker design.

Health care law: criticism of a lack of thread and financial burden on contributors

The recent draft of the speaker for a health care law (GVSG) bumps into Dr. Carola Reimann, the CEO of the AOK federal association, on criticism. She criticizes that the draft would not offer any convincing solutions for tailor -made and cross -sectoral regional solutions in outpatient health care. Instead, according to Reimann, the fatal pattern is continued to systematically postpone state tasks and financial responsibilities to statutory health insurance (GKV). An example of this is that the payments in the future should also pay for the financing of medical study places.

Another point of criticism concerns the redesign of the general medical remuneration, in which there is no guarantee that this actually improves the accessibility and quality of the general medical care. In addition, the intended bonuses for participation in the household -produced care further more expensive medical care.

Instead of structurally improving the outpatient care of people, according to Reimann, only the income of the medical profession is optimized. This jeopardizes the economy of care. According to Reimann, the financial burden limit of the payments has already been reached.

The criticism of Dr. Reimann is primarily aimed at the planned shift of state tasks and financial responsibilities. According to Reimann, this represents a problematic pattern that was already observed in the draft of the hospital reform.

The following table provides an overview of the central criticism of Dr. Reimann:

| Critique of criticism | Content |
| —————- | --————————————————————————————————————— | Missing solutions | The draft does not offer convincing solutions for tailored and cross -sectoral regional solutions in outpatient health care. |
| Financial responsibility | The draft systematically moves state tasks and financial responsibilities to the SHI. |
| Medical study places | In the future, the contributors will also pay for the financing of medical study places. |
| General medical remuneration | The redesign of the general practitioner remuneration does not necessarily improve the accessibility and quality of the general medical care. |
| Bonuses for household -centered supply | The proposed bonuses for participation in the household -produced care make medical care more expensive. |
| Income optimization | Instead of improving outpatient care, only the income of the medical profession is optimized. |
| Financial load limit | The financial burden limit of the payments has already been reached. |

It remains to be seen whether Dr. Reimann is taken into account in the further negotiations and the final version of the health care law.
